Those mass displays are breathtaking.  I wouldn't know where to stand if I came across that in a wood somewhere.  Just amazing.
Cheers.

this is not a late heap of snow waiting to be melted by the spring sun ... these are the snowdrops in my garden.  And they spread all over the lawn, even if as long as they do not flower they get mowed from april on since it's almost impossible to distinguish them from the gras.  This spring I have spotted new lonely flowers 20 tot 30 meter away from the main clumps area.  It's going to be athletic mowing this spring navigating between all the snowdrops  ;D

Spring comes very very slowly here in Berlin, but a first Hepatica is in flower now.
